Tag-A-Longs Help Brighten Other’s Day

“I pledge My Head to clearer thinking, My Heart to greater loyalty, My Hands to larger service and My Health to better living for my club, my community, my country, and my world.  The 4 “Hs” represent the values of 4-H and how our members commit themselves to be responsible, caring and contributing young leaders.

The Edwards Co. 4-H Tag-A-Longs put their hands to larger service on Friday, November 19.  They completed a Community Service Project.  Members, families and leaders helped make their project a success. They donated numerous items that will be taken to the Shriners Hospital for Children in St. Louis.  The youth took this project serious, they gathered at the Extension office to put the final touches on their project.  They made handmade cards to send to the individuals that are patients in the hospital.  The Tag-A-Longs hope their kindness will brighten their day. 

4-H programs promote positive youth development.  To help youth become successful adults, 4-H uses the essential elements of youth development:  belonging, independence, generosity and mastery.  These elements are known as the acronym Big M.  Want to know more about
